BOSTON — Joe Mazzulla said that Kristaps Porzingis is feeling “a little better” after his second-quarter exit from Tuesday’s Game 1 loss to the Knicks.
Porzingis was listed as questionable to return with a non-COVID illness after leaving midway through the second quarter. Initially, in his media availability on Tuesday afternoon, Mazzulla said he had “no idea” if Porzingis’s illness was related to the upper respiratory illness that kept him out of 11 games from Feb. 26 to March 15.
But, he later shared that since Porzingis returned to the lineup, he’s dealt with lingering symptoms.
